I came across this great article at Smashing Magazine with links to a bunch of javascript controls. There are many great implementations of MooTools and jQuery. You can see the article.

I’m really into all the Mac-like script effects people come up with. Here are some of my favorites:

Slider Gallery (looks like the top portion of apple.com that lets you scroll through product lines)

OS X Style Dock

It’s amazing how script has transformed the web so much in the last few years. I’d hate to think where we would be without it.

iTunes lacks alarm clock functionality and I wanted to wake up to a random song so I created a small script file to launch iTunes and play from my last view (mostly shuffle here) and set it up as a Scheduled Task in Windows (via Control Panel). You don’t need to keep iTunes open. A new process will launch if necessary.

You can download it here or create your own with the following code:

var iTunes = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application");
iTunes.Play();

Very simple stuff.

Enjoy!

Actually posting this from my phone using the Wordpress application, pretty slick. Maybe I’ll actually update this more often…
